I received some wonderful news over the weekend, my DS is going to be based only 6 hours away from home! So he and his lovely new wife will be able to come for visits and we can go to see them. This news brought a flurry of activity to our house. We decided that we needed to convert our upstairs office into a guest bedroom for them, and we gave up the formal dining room making it our home office. I feel like we’ve been moving all weekend-lol! But I did manage to get my two journal pages done, nothing like sticking to a New Years resolution. These are days 10 and 11. This week we will be doing colors, which I am working on how to incorporate that theme into my ‘Shades of Grey’ journal. I have some ideas.

The other really exciting news is that my online workshop, ‘Visual Journalism 101’ is up and running! We have a large class of wonderful art journalers in the making. If you are interested in joining us, it is not too late. Registration is still open and Creative Workshops provides an atmosphere of working at your own pace, so you can join at any time during the workshop. This is a fun way to beat the winter blues.
